An inclusive, broadly-appealing and colourful public event, Big Picnic offers an opportunity for people to gather together to take their leisure, and in so doing become active participants in celebrating what is a very special year of culture for Cork, her citizens and visitors alike.

Tell Me More?
A summer picnic in a place as peaceful, beautiful and historic as Fota House and her gorgeous gardens – what could be better? In addition to all that this wonderful location has to offer, including Daniel Leibiskind’s amazing 18 Turns structure in situ on the front lawn, Where’s Me Culture? has endeavoured to include as wide a variety of events and attractions as possible. Just some of these include:

Amani Acrobats: Highlights of this year’s Paddy’s Day Parade, the incredibly entertaining Amani Acrobat team promise sensational somersaults, twists and flips.

Art Trail: In association with Cork-based visual artists, an area of the grounds will display artwork in innovative and exciting ways.

Bar-B-Q: Enjoy sizzling barbecue delights in the hot ‘n’ spicy ‘jerk’ Jamaican-style.

Bouncy Castle: Let your babies bounce all day!

Cork Community Circus: The terrific homegrown talents of Mr Crow & Co bring all manner of top tricks, juggling feats and all round clownish behaviour.

Cowboys & Indians: Play area for ‘smallies’ around Native American tepee and hay bales.

Donkey Sanctuary: Dermot the donkey will be showing his (long) face and will be looked after by his carers and handlers from The Donkey Sanctuary in Doneraile.

18 Turns: Explore Daniel Leibiskind’s eye-catching 18 Turns on the front lawn. Expect some Céile dancing and leppin’ tunes inside too.

Face-Painting: Always a firm favourite with the ‘smallies.’ Get a cowboy face done and send them on up to the tepee for some cowboy tomfoolery.

Farmers Market: Series of diverse stalls selling fresh mouth-watering morsels and fairly traded coffee and tea.

Feel Well: An area devoted to alternative therapies and exercise: anything from Indian head massage to reiki, yoga, tai chi, Capoeira and more.

Fun Sport: Enjoy egg & spoon, 3-legged and sack races perhaps even some tug-of-war too.

Live Music: Diverse programme of fun feel-good musical vibrations from a variety of artists and djs –nothing too hectic though!

Nature Walks: Find out more about the special soil at Fota, which allows a huge diversity of plants to thrive, on a nature walk revealing the stories behind the trees.

Pottery Painting: Pottery painting lessons for the kids – parents choose and buy ceramics, kids paint ‘em and keep ‘em – also baby painted footprints too!

Puppet Show: Dowtcha Puppets will be popping up on the day for a show or two.

Snatch Comedy Improvisation: Cork’s cracking comedy team coming down to add to the fun on the day – expect lots of laughs!

Storytelling: Lore and legend passed down through the generations by the foot of a big oak tree.

Teddy Bears Picnic: Bring your bear, spread out the rug, sit back and enjoy!

Theatre: Cork’s Luvius theatre group will perform selections from their acclaimed ‘Corkonians’ ensemble piece based on tales of Leeside legend and lore.

V e h i c l e - A Mobile Art Venture: Wmc’s big blue bus will be on site all day.
